Progressive Boink

[Andy]

I learned it from you.

[Bill]

Can someone people list for me any and all reasons I shouldn't close this thread and throw it away

[Andy]

There are none.

[James]

THE LESSON IS THAT YOU SHOULD GET ALONG SO THAT NOBODY FEELS BAD

[Andy]

The lesson is that you should pick your goddamn battles and not expect what you can't give (respect, various other things)

[Alex]

You've got him making charts now, jesus.

[Andy]

I don't believe we could have stopped him.

[James]

when was the last time i made fun of any of you for opinions you held that weren't based on hating my opinion

remember that distinction i made with vegans earlier

So what, yeah, I got thin skin. I take things personally. I get angry. Does that mean that you're not responsible for provoking me and attacking me? To use a vaguely relevant example, does that mean you get to shoot a person because you assumed they were wearing a bulletproof vest?

[Alex]

I still hate hunting.

[James]

Let's explore why!

[Alex]

Nah.

[Andy]

You told me point blank that you don't respect any of us but Jon and like one other person, and even as I was trying to convince you to stay you wouldn't put me on that damn list. I believe you said (as always) "nobody respects me there" and I said "well I'd like to think my trying to get you to stick around shows some respect" and your response was something like "i dont hate you" or some shit. In this very thread you said something to the effect that everyone but Casey can suck it or something (btw gg casey). You don't have to make fun to show disrespect to someone.

[Casey]

I'm bored with this thread; who wants to go shoot some animals

[blacktoothgrin]

I don't like hunting because it's taking something worth being good at (killing for food) and making it about something not being good at (finding beautiful, graceful, enormous beasts and killing them in cold blood).

That's just one guy's opinion though! Everybody's elses is just as correct! We are all equal. We are all one.

[Illinois Smith]

i like bears more than stupid asshats who give guns to little kids and i'm named after them too so there's that

ooooooooh the shame

[James]

For some reason, just like my roommate, you think of "condescending" as a generic insult that is just meant to hurt your feelings and isn't an actual criticism of your behavior.

I assume it's easier that way.

But yeah, Andy, I understand how being aloof and self-assured can be hard on you, and believe me that every time I get sneered at or made fun of I understand your pain.

[James]

JUST TO MAKE SURE: IS THERE ANYONE HERE WHO STILL HAS FOND MEMORIES OF ME

I MUST BE AS THOROUGH AS POSSIBLE IN THIS ENDEAVOR

[Bill]

I just noticed that I typed "someone people" up there and it just makes me so angry

[Justin]

I do and you'll think I"m being smug when I say it but they're all of fun lovin' joshin' around in the moog' James but that's because I generally prefer funny easy goin' people over serious ones and I wish we could go back a few months because that James was a pretty good friend.

[Bill]

justin what does the word locked mean to you
